Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2736908A1] A method for removing sodium oxalate from sodium aluminate solutions produced by alkaline bauxite treatment according to the Bayer process, wherein the sodium oxalate in at least one fraction of the previously decomposed sodium aluminate solution is precipitated using an agent that destabilises the supersaturated state of the sodium oxalate, i.e. a deoxalation initiator, and the oxalate, precipitated with the destabilising agent in the form of an insoluble residue is separated from the purified sodium aluminate solution which is then recycled as the treatment liquor. The destabilising agent or deoxalation initiator contacted with the sodium aluminate solution is a salt other than an oxalate, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide or a mixture thereof, said destabilising agent remains insoluble in or chemically inert to the reaction medium, and following an optional regeneration step, said agent is recycled to the start of the process as a deoxalation initiator.
